Public Notice East Greenwich Township Residents:
The East Greenwich Township Water Department will be flushing the water system beginning March 27, 2011 through April
15, 2011 from 8:00 am to 3:00pm. There will be a noticeable loss
of pressure and some discoloration. Please allow water to run for a few
minutes before using. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause
and appreciate your patience while we work to maintain our water system.
The Township is also in the process of painting our water tank on
Cohawkin Road. The tank is 18 years old and has never been taken out of
service
for maintenance because it was our only tank to supply water pressure
for our system. With the addition of our 2nd tank on Wolfet Station Road
in 2010
we now have the means to supply proper water pressure while we service
our older tank. The work on the tank will be completed on July 1,
2011.
We would like to ask the residents to assist during this time by not using their irrigation systems until May 15, 2011 and to use the system only
every 4 or 5 days until July 1, 2011 then begin your normal watering schedule of every other day.
Thank you for assisting the Township while we continue to improve our water system,
Joseph B.
